Meg Lanning ruled-out of Kia Super League

“Meg is one of the top players in the world - and has been pleasure to work with in the run up to the tournament - so it's really disappointing that she isn't going be able to join us this year.

"We hope to see her in the colours of the Surrey Stars in the future and everyone at Surrey wishes her a speedy recovery."
